Just Like Old Times Todd Snider
There's a coke m[D]achine glowin through the parking lot
[G]Call it a room with a view
[D]This was the best night of pool that I ever shot
[G]I made a lot of money too
[G]I was looking for some compa[A7]ny
[G]In the weekly scene
[A7]I seen an ad, it just had to [G]be you
[A7]I hadn't seen you since New Orleans
[A7]And I never did figure out where you ran off to
[D]I know I looked bad the last time you saw me
[G]But lately I been doing all right
[D]I won a tournament last week in Oklahoma City
[G]Hustled half of this town tonight
[G]I got some coc[A7]aine
[G]If you want some
[A7]It's the best that I could [G]find
[A7]Hey we could just sit here and talk all night
[A7]If that big ol' guy out in the car don't mind
Chorus:
[G]Like old times[D]
[A7]Screw off the top on a bottl[D]e of wine
[G]Living out our own kind [D]of American d[A7]ream
[G]Old times[D]
[A7]Your goal was always the sam[D]e as mine
[G]You didn't want to throw a fi[D]shing line in that[A7] old main strea[D]m
[D]You know I ain't expecting anybody but you
[G]I don't know who this could be at the door
[D]But I'm pretty sure that you got a clue
[G]And I bet that you've been to this hotel before
[G]Put the you-know-what in the [A7]bathroom but
[G]Don't flush it down just yet
[A7]Put your pager in my suit[G]case
[A7]I'll get the window
[A7]You light a cigarette, it'll be like
Chorus:
[G]Old times[D]
[A7]Just like the old[D] times
[G]Living out our own kind [D]of American d[A7]ream
[G]Old times[D]
[A7]Your goal was always the sam[D]e as mine
[G]You didn't want to throw a fi[D]shing line in that[A7] old main strea[D]m
Bridge:
[Em]No sir officer you don't understand
[A7]We're just two old friends drinkin' wine
[Em]I'm sure she is but that's not all she is
[A7]She's also an old friend of mine
[Em]I got her high school picture right here in my wallet - 1[A7]982
[Em]No sir officer no offense taken
[A7]You have a good night too
[D]Good thing we didn't throw this away baby
[G]Turn up that radio
[D]I'm pretty sure that cop knew what we were up to
[G]I guess he just decided to let us go
[G]Don't make such a thing about [A7]that picture
[G]That was just something I kept
[A7]Don't get all sentimental on me now girl
[A7]You haven't even told me what your new name is yet
Chorus:
[G]Old times[D]
[A7]Just like the old[D] times
[G]Living out our own kind [D]of American d[A7]ream
[G]Old times[D]
[A7]Your goal was always the sam[D]e as mine
[G]You didn't want to throw a fi[D]shing line in that[A7] old main strea[D]m
